With local malls and department stores echoing in cheerful holiday tunes, these whimsical fashion storefronts are brimming in equally festive features. Selfridges, Bloomingdale's, Holt Renfrew and Barney's all compete to captivate the eyes of passing shoppers with over-the-top, decadent window displays.
While many brands are pushing creative boundaries with their storefront designs, fashion retailers still prove to be king when it comes to the window shopping wars. With the emergence of high-tech innovations such as touchscreen surfaces and QR code scanners, storefronts are no longer just a space to display seasonal merchandise. They provide the perfect canvas for launching interactive campaigns and engaging consumers in a new breed of retail consumption.
There are many things to look forward to with the holiday season including spending your hard earned money, delicious meals with your families, the first snowfall or taking a browse by the festive fashion storefronts in your neighborhood mall.
